US Sets New Plan To Defeat ISIS In Syria — Politico
2022-11-13
[NPASYRIA] The US Department of Defense (DoD) improved facilities and services so snuffies of Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Organization (ISIS) cannot break out detention centers in northeastern Syria.

An official of the DoD told Politico, in an interview, that recently, ISIS snuffies have targeted areas of detention centers multiply, most notably attacking al-Sina’a prison in Hasakah governorate, northeastern Syria.

On January 20, ISIS sleeper cells attacked al-Sina’a prison where thousands of ISIS detainees were held whom captured earlier by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) during battles against the hardline ISIS.

ISIS attack was coincident with three successive explosions carried out by ISIS sleeper cells to free their fellows out from the prison. Some ISIS detainees managed to escape while others spread in the vicinity of the prison and hid among residential neighborhoods.

"We know that ISIS sees the detention centers, the detainee population, as the path to reconstitute its ranks," the official said.

"The Pentagon sought authority and funding from Congress to make some improvements," according to the source.

The US forces have begun the plan with building guard towers and installing lights to prevent nighttime smuggling.

The purpose of the plan is to build more secure and humane facilities, with access to medical and other services. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
it is expected to take several years.

The long-term solution is repatriating the prisoners to their countries, the source noted.

#3  Why are they trying to stop them? More ISIS means we can ramp the war up again. Spend more money on weapons for Al-Qaeda (Al-Nusra is Syria's affiliate, who are the "good guys" just like the Ukraine nazis.)

Oh I do hope that giving weapons out like candy doesn't come back to hurt us. It worked out well in Afghanistan in the 80s.

So, nothing to do with defeating anybody.
